“But dude, I took down all the gym leaders and finished the main game ages ago! I’m not gonna play through all of those gyms again!” No, that’s not the gym challenge we’re talking about. This one is undoubtedly going to be harder, so you better put your best Pokeball forward!
In this Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Online Tournament, you are going to go up against some of the most skilled Pokemon trainers around the world. The competition is made up of Single Battles, in which no duplicate Pokemon or items will be allowed in battle.
But why is this competition even called the ‘Gym Challenge’? That’s because you are only allowed Pokemon that have been used by the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Gym Leaders! Sure, you can mix and match Pokemon from every gym leader, but you cannot use a Pokemon that a gym leader hasn’t used themselves!
